DZU was driven to its bankruptcy after Bulgaria was "liberated" from socialism in 1989, and together with the socialism, the country was also "liberated" from its highly developed and high-tech industry and its huge technological potential, being the biggest producer of computer electronics in the Eastern Bloc and having plenty of highly qualified staff.

In one of the 1985's film they mention that 95% of the production was for export, in the 1988 movie they enumerate 18 countries in 18 continents, including East Europe ones and Finland, Austria, Greece, West Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, Nigeria, China, Brazil, India, Iran.

Note that most of the staff in the clean-rooms and other facilities shown in the videos were women.
